November 2017:Our new temporary transmission antenna was
installed at our studio on Friday November 17, 2017 and listeners were
quick to acknowledge the improved radio signal.

This is a
temporary solution until the new full time, full strength antenna can be
erected at the Progress Reserve after ACMA (the Australian Communication
and Media Authority) corrects a long existing issue.

The Hume City Council
has been working with us to make this happen, and as a result they will
now be able to move forward with their plans for the former Town Hall
building.Read
